Not a huge amount done this weekend but it was successful overall for a change 
The other week, i got the EPAS mostly fitted. I decided to relocate the pump to under the boot floor which meant a very expensive trip to Pirtek to get a high pressure line made up. I mounted that along the floor last time around but the low pressure hose they supplied me was too big so had to get some more. Got that run this weekend and got it all wired in and filled up. Works an absolute treat, is slightly heavier than the original which i like. Only thing is it whines a bit but I'm sure i can do something about that. You can only really hear it anyway when steering when parking. It just sounds like I have a chronic earth issue with my speakers

Also the other week, i made a temporary repair to my cracked sump. Still going strong

And finally, a comparison of old vs new charger pulley. This new one will see 5-6psi with any luck which should work out about 220bhp.

Oh and after i stopped feeling like death this morning, i washed it for the first time since September
